Ted Kerasote met and adopted Merle, a Labrador mix, while he was on a camping trip. Merle had been living in the wild, and after taking the dog home with him to Wyoming, Kerasote soon realized that Merle could not adjust to inhabiting exclusively the human world. So he put a door in his house to let Merle live both outside and in.

A deeply touching portrait of a remarkable animal, Merle's Door explores the issues that all animals and their human companions face as their lives intertwine and presents the latest research into animal behavior, as well as the origins and evolution of human-dog interaction. Merle showed Kerasote how dogs might live were they free; Kerasote suggests how they should be allowed to live, and the doors that should always remain open to them.

The condensed description of this title caught my attention and the author kept it for all 18 chapters. Kerasote tells the story of his and Merle's lives, how they met, lived, loved and how Merle left an indelible mark on an entire community. A truly free dog who chose the perfect human companion in Kerasote, was allowed to be who he was. The interjection of relevant canine behavioral research was incredibly refreshing. I laughed, learned and cried - highly recommend this title!

Fantastic listen

This is without a doubt one of the most wonderful books I have ever listened to. I was apprehensive at first about buying it, but gave in to my love of dogs and did so. I am so glad I did.

This book is very amusing -- I had a smile on my face almost all the way through. It is also very educational. The combination of the author's descriptions of Merle's behavior and the reader's interpretation of his 'voice' are just great. This story -- Ted's relationship with Merle -- is very moving. Since listening to the book I have seen the hardcover and there is a photo of the two of them which expresses exactly the love between them, which is captured beautifully in the audio. All the peripheral characters are fleshed out well without interrupting Merle's story; they simply add to it.

The book flows effortlessly and I didn't want it to end. I highly recommend - a thoroughly enjoyable listen.

Truly wonderful!

Merle was the star of the book. The book made you feel as if you could reach out and pet Merle and follow everything that he was doing.

What does Patrick Lawlor bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

He was Merle's voice.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I had to stop listening to the book at one point because I was in a public place and couldn't cry in front of everyone. After several days, I was able to listen to the rest of the book and enjoy every word.

Any additional comments?

The book successfully captured his personality and quirks. The relationship between Merle and his human companion was beautiful.

Merle rocks!

Merle was "the best dog in the world." Kerasote not only did a great job of showing us what Merle was like, he also presented research on dogs to support his notion that they really are a lot like humans. He believes they need to have the freedom to become adults, rather than remain the children that we tend to treat them as.

Moving true story and good research
